I have this system where a flexible number of Queries are being sent to my .asp page.

I think the best way of storing the queries will be to an Array but I can't figure ut a nice way of doing this ..

Later on down the script, is there a nice way of asking the array if it contain a certain value?

Sounds like you need to read up on the Scripting.Dictionary object, particularly the Add and Exists methods.

Will you know how many items need to go into the array at runtime? If so, then you can declare the array at a fixed size based on that. If not, then you will need to ReDim it for each thing you have to add to it. When you redim, you need to preserve the contents. Usually you do something like this:

Dim aryMyArray()

For Each Thing
    ReDim Preserve aryMyArray(UBound(aryMyArray)+1)
    aryMyArray(UBound(aryMyArray)) = Thing
Next Thing

The array datatype doesn't have a "search" function, so you'll have to write your own lookup loop.

For i = 0 To UBound(aryMyArray)
    If aryMyArray(i) = LookupThing Then...
Next i

Work smarter, not harder.

Peter, I have to disagree with you there. A dictionary object is much more efficient than an array at being re-sized, plus it has the Exists method to easily locate any item already in the dictionary. For these reasons its much better suited to the OP's requirements.

Thanks to both of you!

I really needed that expertise about arrays anyhow ;) and surely there will be a great use for Dictionary as well!

tnx!
